The best thing about a jet torch is you can smoke anything, even sopping wet fresh out of the tin, which greatly enhances the flavor of Aromatics.
Sure, you might scorch the rim if you’re not careful, so don’t smoke an expensive pipe with a torch, there’s plenty of cheaper options.
I will add that a soft flame that can be directed into the bowl might do just as well, but I haven’t got around to trying one of those yet. And I haven’t actually found a torch lighter I’m really happy with either (the cold climate definitely makes butane less effective).
